Latest Shows You've Started?

I did finish it, though I didn't think it was as good as season 1 - I was invested in the trial, but not in David Tennant's character's sub-plot. Season 3 was pretty good, though my favourite was season 1.

Yeah, the David Tennant sub-plot was what turned me off. Even though I love him. Season 1 was definitely the best.

Just started The Mist on Netflix after finishing The Defenders. Kinda a good series to get into that spooky, autumn/Halloween mood.

We just started up Defenders. LOVED all the shows independently but not sure how I feel yet about this show yet. First episode seemed kind of slow but is clearly building up the story of how they all end up together I imagine.

I did just watch the live action Deathnote while organising all my recipes and, I'm not sure I particularly enjoyed it (not sure if there are any anime fans here)...but it does seem like there will be a second one eventually.

I wasn't a huge fan of any of the series independently except Daredevil cause I loved Foggy, but I really disliked the series.

And dude... don't get me started on the Death Note movie... lol

I could kind of tell right away that it probably wasn't going to be something I liked but I had faith as I thought Willam DaFoe would be a really good Ryuk. It wasn't Ryuk that I didn't like in fairness..... I was giving it a shot as I was kind of surprised it wasn't a Japanese cast but was keeping an open mind as the characters in the anime weren't meant to be Japanese necessarily...but yeah.... no bueno...I didn't totally hate it, but...is that really a compliment to say you don't hate something? lol

The only thing I did like about it was Willam DaFoe because he was the only Western actor I thought could make sense.

I didn't totally hate it, but I feel as if I waste moments of my life watching it. Like the Avatar the Last Airbender movie.

Comrade Detective. If you like Soviet kitsch it is great.

I thing the Trip is as hysterical.

So I have NowTV and for some of my shows it updates weekly (like the new Curb Your Enthusiasm), but Modern Family hasn't put any of season 9 up yet (it's 2 episodes in).  Does anyone know when they do this?

Also does anyone know when Brooklyn 99 puts its latest season on Netflix?  I'm really pleased that Big Bang Theory put theirs up already.  I promise I watch some British shows but these are ones that I've been following since the beginning.

I paid for the latest season of BBT on Amazon Prime 2 months ago, and now I wish I hadn't. I didn't realize they'd put it up so quickly. Sigh.

Does that mean it's yours to watch though?  Like Netflix could remove it at any time (RIP 30 Rock) so it might not be the worst thing to own some of the seasons. 

I feel like that show has gotten so much better than it was.  I stopped watching in the middle somewhere, and when I started up again I was so pleasantly surprised at how the characters have been developed, especially the girls.

Yeah, I have season 10 to watch any time I want, but none of the others. LOL. At least I've seen season 11 starts here next week on E4 so I'll try to remember to watch it next week!

The Trip?  With Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon?  We watch that.

I also pretty much binged the first season of The Good Place a couple of weeks ago, and now I'm watching the second season as they come out each week.  (Netflix original)

And after seeing it referenced so much at the bottom of the BBC website and then seeing it on Netflix, I decided to see what Poldark is all about.  I've watched three episodes, but I don't think I'll keep it up.  I mean, it's seems like a pretty tired set-up.  Young people in love, she thinks he died and moves on, he returns and is disappointed.  Meanwhile, he has all these hardships to overcome.  It's just been done so many times.  And I can already see that it's just going to plod along forever and the audience is never going to be satisfied.  (BBC, but old episodes on Netflix)

Dreamland (called Utopia in Australia)!  It's on Netflix.  It's similar to The Thick of It, or The Office (not mockumentary style, but similar tone), set in an Australian agency called the Nation Building Authority.  I have been enjoying it.

Edited to add:

Almost forgot... Narcos!  (Netflix)

is there a new "The Trip" or are you watching the older ones?

We started watching the Good Place last night!! SO hilarious! Love it! She is SUCH a terrible human being hahaha

need to finish Doctor Foster as well and I'm told liar is good (but I don't have easy access to that...)

I've got SO much saved to my list on Netflix but no time as of late to binge! lol I've been watching through Alan Partridge when I have a bit of time here and there as my friend told me how much I'd love it and I think it's hilarious haha

is there a new "The Trip" or are you watching the older ones?

We are watching the ... hrm.  I thought it was the third series, but that's not on Netflix.  We watched the first two series on Netflix.  Maybe he found a stream somewhere for the third one.

I know!  She's awful, but so funny.  I don't think there's a character in the show that I dislike.  It's really well crafted.

On multiple occasions last night while watching it, I was laughing out going "OMG SHE'S THE WOOOORSTTT...I LOVE IT!"
